Serving Aliso Viejo

Aliso Viejo shares borders with Laguna Niguel, one of our 10 Orange County locations, and with Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods and Laguna Beach. When you call, a person answers at any hour, and the plumber is dispatched from our nearest location, whether you live on a street near Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park or in a condo cluster across town. You do not need to know what failed: tell us what is leaking, dripping or backing up, and the plumber finds the cause.

Aliso Viejo's housing is young. The median home here was built in 1995, and only 6 percent of the city's 20,507 housing units predate 1980. Just 36 percent are single-family detached houses, so condos and townhomes make up most of the city, often in buildings where neighbors share walls and part of the plumbing. That mix changes the calls: less worn-out pipe, more trouble with equipment and with lines that serve more than one home.

The city was planned and built mostly from the late 1980s on, so the water lines are usually copper or PEX rather than galvanized steel. What wears out is the equipment. Tankless water heaters lock out once hard-water scale builds up in the heat exchanger, recirculation pumps quit and leave a long wait for hot water at the far bathroom, and the cartridges in faucets and showers stiffen with mineral buildup.

Moulton Niguel Water District provides water and sewer service for most of Aliso Viejo. In a condo or townhome, read your HOA documents before any work on pipe inside a shared wall, since part of it may not be yours. Permits for heater installs, repiping, lateral work and gas piping come from the City of Aliso Viejo; we pull each one, pressure test any gas work, and close it after inspection.

Aliso Viejo sits next to Laguna Woods, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills and Laguna Beach, all of which we serve as well. The plumber heads out from whichever of our locations is nearest. Someone picks up the phone day and night, the cause is found before anything gets opened up, and the price is settled in writing before the job begins.

ZIP codes in Aliso Viejo

  • 92656

Calls we get from Aliso Viejo

  • 01Tankless water heaters that shut down with an error code after scale clogs the heat exchanger, flushed or repaired where they hang.
  • 02Recirculation pumps that stop running, so the bathroom at the far end of the house waits a long time for hot water.
  • 03Leaks in condo and townhome buildings, where water from one unit shows up on a neighbor's ceiling and the source has to be found first.
  • 04Slow drains and backed-up kitchen lines in newer homes, more often caused by grease, wipes or soap buildup than by broken pipe.

Local housing

Aliso Viejo homes, by the numbers

  • 1995Median build year
  • 6%Pre-1980 homes
  • 36%Detached single-family
  • 20,507Total homes

Only 6% of the housing in Aliso Viejo is older than 1980. Most of it came after 1990, with PEX or copper water lines and ABS drains, and pipe that young rarely fails on its own. The work is mostly water heaters, scale in tankless units, recirculation pumps, pressure regulators and now and then a slab leak.

Single-family detached houses are just 36% of Aliso Viejo homes. Most people live in condos, townhomes or apartments that share drain stacks and sewer lines, so when a drain backs up the blockage may be in piping the building or the HOA owns, and that owner has to be part of the repair.

Questions

Aliso Viejo plumbing questions

Do you come to every address in Aliso Viejo?
Every one, across the whole of 92656, the city's only ZIP code. Condos, townhomes and houses are all inside our 24-hour emergency response, with a person answering the phone on weekends and holidays as well.
Is a permit needed for a tankless water heater in Aliso Viejo?
Yes. Installing or replacing a water heater, tank or tankless, needs a permit from the City of Aliso Viejo, and the same goes for a repipe, a new sewer lateral or any gas piping. We obtain the permit, pressure test the gas line, and close everything out after inspection.
What upkeep does a tankless water heater need in Aliso Viejo?
Mostly descaling. Hard water leaves scale in the heat exchanger, so follow the flushing schedule in your unit's manual. Treat an error code, or hot water that swings between hot and cold, as a sign the flush is overdue, and call us before the unit locks out for good.
